Sunshine Cottage – The Yellow House That Books Itself Permit USE2025-0020 Picture the perfect Bellingham postcard: a butter-yellow 1897 cottage hugged by a white picket fence, a porch to watch the world pass by, and a private balcony that hangs over Bellingham Bay. That’s not a dream – that’s your weekend. THREE REAL KING BEDS – NO AIR-MATTRESS LIES Top-Floor Bay King – black-out curtains, a TV, and direct balcony access Top-Floor Front King – street views that feel like a Wes Anderson film 1st-Floor Front King – garden-facing with easy access Six adults sleep like royalty. Zero arguments over who gets the good bed. LOCATION THAT MAKES UBER DRIVERS SAD You’ll use your car exactly twice: arrival and departure. Walking distance (real minutes, not “Airbnb minutes”): FARMERS’ MARKET (5 min walk) Saturday magic: fresh flowers, hot tamales, pottery, live fiddle music. Check the calendar and thank me later. COFFEE (all < 6 min walk) Otherside – 3 min (best bagels in the PNW, fight me) Hammer Coffee – 4 min (oat-milk lattes that actually slap) Mt. Bakery – 5 min (croissant the size of your head, trust) BREAKFAST / BRUNCH Little Cheerful – 10 min (scrambles worth the hype) The Daisy Cafe – 15 min (Swedish pancakes = childhood reborn) LUNCH / DINNER Leaf & Ladle – 4 min (salads so good you’ll forget burgers exist) Cafe Rumba – 4 min (Choripollo sandwich = life changing) Rock & Rye Oyster House – 5 min ($1.50 happy-hour oysters 3-5 PM) Aslan Brewing – 7 min (organic beers + truffle fries that haunt dreams) DATE NIGHT Starla’s – 5 min (natural wine + pizza that causes marriage proposals) D’Anna’s – 9 min (Italian comfort food, bring stretchy pants) Roe – 5 min drive (counter seats = chef’s table vibes, reserve or show up at 5) SWEETS Pure Bliss Desserts – 15 min (lemon bars that should be illegal) Saltadena Bakery – 10 min (morning buns gone by 10 AM – set an alarm) GROCERIES Community Food Co-op – 4 min walk (organic everything + hot-bar lunch) Grocery Outlet – 3 min drive (where $2 wine tastes like $20) GALBRAITH MOUNTAIN 10 min drive → Park at the Birch Street trailhead and have at it! LAKE WHATCOM 15 min drive → Bloedel Donovan (free parking + boat launch) or Hertz Trail (easy 5-mile waterfront stroll). THE HOUSE ITSELF – EVERY DETAIL OBSESSED OVER Living room A large couch with room for all 55” Fire Smart TV with every app known to humankind Kitchen Gas range + full size fridge Keurig + Hot Chocolate! Graza Olive Oil Bathrooms (1.5) Top floor: Tub/Shower Combo with towels to spare Main floor: powder room so nobody ever waits Laundry Full-size washer/dryer + free detergent Tech 300 Mbps Wi-Fi that actually reaches the rooftop Smart locks (your code works 4 PM day-of, dies 11 AM checkout – no key drama) PARKING – THE BELLINGHAM UNICORN Free, unlimited street parking directly in front. Back your bumper to the fenced area off alley and unload in 30 seconds. No permits, no 2-hour zones, no passive-aggressive notes. THE VIBE This isn’t a cookie-cutter Airbnb. It’s the house your friends think you own when you post the balcony pics. You’ll hear seagulls and the occasional train whistle that feels nostalgic instead of annoying. Quiet enough to sleep with the balcony door cracked, close enough to stumble home from Aslan after one too many Depot IPAs. Perfect for WWU family weekends that feel like a vacation Galbraith crews who want plush beds instead of camper vans Three couples splitting a weekend without the “who gets the master” fight Remote workers who need strong WiFi and zero distractions Anyone who believes life is too short for queen beds RULES (because grown-ups need them too) No parties (the cottage is 127 years old and prefers book clubs) No smoking/vaping inside (patio & rooftop are fine) Max 6 guests (we count shoes at the door) THE BORING BUT IMPORTANT STUFF City of Bellingham Short-Term Rental Permit: USE2025-0020 Check-in 4 PM / Check-out 11 AM We live 7 minutes away and answer texts faster than you can say “where’s the corkscrew” Cleaning fee covers professional service between every stay – you just live your best life Book now. Cancel your backup options. Tell your group chat “I found the place.” Because once you watch one sunset from that balcony, every other rental will feel like a downgrade. The yellow cottage is waiting to become your new favorite place on earth. See you on the balcony!
